| Quality | Nothing lost: BMP keeps every pixel |
|---|---|
| Transparency | Transparent areas are filled with white |
| Camera details and location | Left out: the BMP is saved without them |
| Colour depth | Saved at 8 bits per channel |
| File size | Usually larger: BMP compresses less tightly than PNG |
When to use BMP: Older Windows software, simple paint programs and tools that expect raw, uncompressed pixels.
